What is the scientific word for when ice turns into a gas(vapour)?
Answer:
When water goes from solid to gas, it's called sublimation. Sublimation is a term used in chemistry to describe any change from solid to gas, no matter what the substance is (hell, if you could make butter spontaneously evaporate, that would be called sublimation too), but it's also a term used in psychoanalysis. If you're talking to good ol' Dr. Freud, sublimation means turning a primative impulse into something socially acceptable. An example would be: "Brian was attracted to his hot English teacher, but instead of humping her leg he sublimated his lust into something positive by reading all of Shakespeare's plays (even if it was just to impress her)."
